Annoying, John, to say the least.
The way I always did it was to let the flox cure before pulling the rivets.
I use skin pins, not Clecos, to hold the flanges in place. That way the
hinge will not be distorted if the flange is not straight. If this is done
with the hinges still fixed to the straight edge the hinges remain coaxial.
(if that's the right word) Concentric maybe {?:-)
